Don't think that because it is such a small country with only about 17 million people, it should be neglected. The Netherlands has a long history, with a high influence on our cultures, trading routes, the stock market, business, and art. The Dutch were all over the world. They "owned" and colonized a big portion of what was then the known world. They were among the first settlers, had the biggest haven, and biggest fleet for some time. The Dutch East-Indian Trading Company, or VOC, is probably the biggest or at least one of the biggest companies that has ever existed.

Se cumplen cinco siglos de la Conquista de México, y a lo largo de este tiempo Hernán Cortés ha desempeñado un claro papel en el imaginario colectivo de la nación: el de villano. Sin embargo, para Christian Duverger esta apreciación no podría ser más injusta.

The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, now in Canyonlands National Park, near popular tourist destination Moab, still cannot be reached or viewed easily.

The first US government expedition to explore the canyon country and the Four Corners area was led by John Macomb of the army's topographical engineers.

Story0
Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.

In California, in a mill race on an undistinguished stream, an astonishing discovery was made. It was gold. Gold said to be so plentiful that it just lay there waiting to be picked up. Nuggets of gold that you could just bend down and put in your pocket. Big nuggets, some weighing six ounces or more. A six ounce nugget was worth $120 in 1849. Today? $3,000 in today’s dollars!

"Die griechische Mythologie ist ein Teil der antiken griechischen Religion. Aber es handelt sich bei der Mythologie nicht um die täglich praktizierte Verehrung der Gottheiten, sondern um Geschichten, die von den Handlungen der Götter und den Taten der griechischen Helden berichten. Trotzdem hatten die Erzählungen großen Einfluss auf das religiöse und gesellschaftliche Leben im antiken Griechenland. Viele menschliche Schicksale sind direkt oder indirekt in ihnen enthalten. Historiker forschen an der Frage, ob bzw. welchen Mythen geschichtliche Ereignisse zugrunde liegen...."
